THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

They won their strike fair and square. Now their rich bosses are closing up shop. After more than three years on strike at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Newspaper Guild of Pittsburgh members won and finally returned to work. Now, the wealthy Block family is closing the paper.

bold of them to host this right before Pitt Day of Giving- I might just be one alumni, but you'd be hard pressed to find me willing to give them a CENT after this

A digital recreation of a panel of the comic Nancy by Olivia James. The titular character, Nancy, is riding a hoverboard-type scooter, holding a digital music player in one hand and a phone on a selfie stick in the other. She's wearing those 80s Venetian blind sunglasses. All the colors are weird inversions or variations from the actual panel colors. In a large speech balloon above her head Nancy is saying 'Maybe it will happen today'.

Duzz said they could give up 100 today and they're probably not going to give up more than 56. Another great week of beating expectations

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes.

The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last.

The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes.

Why?

It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong,

it is right.

No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness,

it is a strength.

No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited,

it is unlimited.

CORRECTION: I regret to inform the masses that not only did I use "literally" twice in one tweet, I forgot the true villain- the people who pay the grounds crew and decide when/how they maintain the field

Marc Lobliner post on X: "Why the hell are we giving food stamps to 40 million people?

Does anyone work anymore?"

Marc Lobliner post on X: "Why the hell are we giving food stamps to 40 million people? Does anyone work anymore?"

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.

Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:

* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled

* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employedβ€”but in jobs that pay poverty wages
